SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND THE FARMERS MARKET
February 27th, 2024 at 1:00pm
with Julia Day, Regional Director for the Rochester/Syracuse Office, New York State Division of Human Rights

You hear about sexual harassment in the news, but what does it mean to you as a farmers market manager? Learn about how issues of sexual harassment can affect market managers, vendors, and customers at farmer markets.

We will also cover how to draft a formal policy against sexual harassment, plus the options and outcomes available to sexual harassment victims. There will be opportunities for questions.

Please participate by asking questions to learn more about this important topic. Even If you believe you’ll never have a problem related to sexual harassment at your market, we'll hope for the best and plan for the worst!
